tionship upon or above the lid or cover of the box when not in use so as to enclose and confine thereunder articles or materials of different kinds, said side or wall member capably being raised to permit access to the articles, and means for retaining said side or wall member in flat relationship upon or over the box lid or cover. i l

Another object of the invention is to provide, in connection with a box, an article receptacle in connection with the lid or cover 20 of the box and including a hinged side or wall member adapted to befolded on or over the'lid or cover of the box or raised or turned away from said box lid or cover, in combina-4 tion with article holding devices between said side or wall member and said lid or cover of the box, and means in connection with the box lid or cover for holding said side or wall member in closed position. v

Other objects will appear from the following description, reference being made to the accompanying drawings in which Fig. 1 is a top plan view ofa box having my invention in connection therewith and parts being broken away to illustrate several features of the device.

Fig. 2 is an end elevation of the box `with theV hinged side or wall member raised slightly.

Fig. 3 is a reduced top plan viewv of `the box showing the hinged side or wall member o en.

pThe box, in connection with which the present invention is shown, comprises a bottom wall 1, a side wall 2 rising from the bot tom wall 1` and forming an enclosure which is open at the top. The lid or cover for this box comprises a top member 3 having, in connection therewith, a side wall 4 designed and adaptedy to telescope about and enclose the box wall 2. Inorder to provide an orstationery Thus, the'envelopes of the i929; serial Nb. V378,210.

namental structure, the top member 3 has l secured to the upper side thereof a padded surface forming device 5, althoughthis feature may be omitted or not, as desired. y A base 6 is shown as attached to the 'part 55 in centered position, the-edges `of'said base 6 .beingspaced inwardly., Thismember 6' may be omitted-0r not as desired. v

My present invention comprises an article receptacle or holder secured to the klid vor cover of the box and in the embodiment shown comprises a wall forming member 7 seated upon and secured tothe base' by fastening-means, such :as glue.` Thefront marginal'. portion of vthe Awall member 7 4is folded rearwardlyuupon said wall member to provide a wall 8 along the side marginal wall 7. vThe ends of the'wall S'are attached to the ends of the wall 7`by glue 9 or other fastening means.A This leaves the rear edge of the wall 8 between the endjfasteningV Vmeans 9 detached and separate from the wall 7 and providespa vreceptacle for receiving and retaining articles,-such asithe ends or edgesof pieces of stationery 10.4 Y j 75 The sheet of material comprising the walls 7 and 8 is ofsuificient length to provide an c upper side 'or wall `member 11, which, as

shown, is of Aabout the same length as of the length and width of the wall 7. The walls 7 80 and 11 are united along their rear edges by a hinge 12, which may comprise a; foldable portion of the sheet of material of which said wall members 7 and 11 are formed. That is to say, the sheet of materia'lmay be foldedV along a line to provide the hinge`12 and to vpermit the wall member 11 to lie flat above or upon the wall 7, as shown in Fig. 1', or raised and turned back, as shown in=.F`ig. 3.

The forward edge of the wall member 11is90y folded-under to provide a wall portion 13 integrally'united withthe wall 7 'along the Vline 14 and having its ends secured or fastened to the wall11 by fastening means 15, which may be glue. `This provides a receptacle between the walls 11 and 13 approximately the full lengthof thewalls 11l and 13 designed and adapted to -receiveand contain articles, such as the edgeSofpieCes of stationery for correspondence purposes may yhave their edges inserted in the pocket bervtween tliefwalls Tand 8 or in the pocket V between the walls 11 and 13; while the sheets of paper of the stationery may-have their edges inserted in the other pocket. In this Y way, one of said pieces, ysuch as thevenvelopes, is held by. the stationeryypocket and the other of said pieces of stationery is held and supported in the other pocket. So when. the side or wall member 11 of this deviceis raised and turned rearwardly, the articles in the stationery pocket and also the articles carried by the side or wall member 11 are exposedv and are readily removable for use. VAdevi'ce for holding or retaining the side or l Iwall member. 1l in vproper closed and flat lposition,isfprovided. As shown, this device "comprises a ribbon or tape 1,7 having its-lendsl secured under thermarginal .por-
